Court She Relates How Money Was Supplied to Mr. and Mrs. Grover In 1902 Suit Sub mitted to Judge Today. How Lafayette Grover, the first man elected to represent the State of Oregon In Congress, the Governor of the state for six years, followed In . 1877 by his becoming United States Senator how this- man and his wife were reduced to such extreme want as to be forced to apply for money to gret the common necessaries of life four years ago. was brought out In the Cir cuit Court In the trial In which Mr. and Mrs. Grover are contesting with the Hawthorne estate for valuable land near the City Park. This want of funds on the part of the Grovers was hinted at by Mrs. Grover while she was on the witness ntand. and confirmed by Mrs. Haw thorne on the witness stand yesterday morning. Mrs. Hawthorne was reluc tant In mentioning the matter, but was forced to do so through the question ing of the attorneys. "Mrs. Grover called me up hy tele phone, and speaking confidentially, as one woman to another, told me that they had nothing with which to Buy food or anything, and she wanted to know what I could do for them," ex plained Mrs. Hawthorne on the witness stand In reply to the questions put to her. Witness Says She Gave Money. Mrs. Hawthorne went on to say that ehe furnished the Grovers money to carry them through this financial stringency. Although he owned considerable property at the time he was Governor of the state, Mr. Grover, according to B. written plea he made to Mrs. Haw thorne in 1902, and which Is on file a an exhibit In the case now being tried, had a hard time In meeting his finan cial obligations ten years ago. The letter sent by Mr. Grover to Mrs. Hawthorne In 1902 was accom panied by a long document, which bears the title of "Historical Memorandum," written also by Mr. Grover. This document relates to the history of the strong friendship that existed between Mr. Grover and Dr. J. C. Haw thorne, whose estate Is Involved In the present suit. The historical memorandum begins by saying that after his return from Congress in 1859, Mr. Grover became a practicing attorney in Salem for two years, after which he came to Port land, met Dr. Hawthorne and became his close friend. After telling how he had saved Dr. Hawthorne from financial ruin by us ing his influence as Governor to keep the state from building an asylum and thus ending Its contract for the care of insane with Dr. Hawthorne, Mr. Grover in his memorandum says: Grover Made Investment. ' "My course toward Dr. Hawthorne In maintaining the asylum In his hands was purely the act of a friend I was a friend In need, and became a friend indeed. But it cost me money, and it cost me friends. For all those in that town (Salem) who moved to secure the asylum there In 1872, opposed my ad ministration throughout, scandalized my public work, opposed my election to the United States Senate, and came near defeating me." In concluding this " document, Mrl Grover said: "But after all these losses' and mis fortunes, it still remains- true that the 45 acres,, now belonging -in full title to Mrs. Hawthorne, which is the result of $2000 Invested with me by Dr. Haw thorne In his lifetime, is now worth over $50,000, over and above liabilities. "The other 45 acres, belonging to Mrs. Grover and myself in equity, sub ject to 'redemption by payment of cer tain liabilities, is amply responsible for all Its debts and will leave to us a competence. But time may be re quired to bring it about. "In view of all the services and ex penditures at my hand, devoted for years to the promotion of the Haw thorne properties, is there not a call for the most liberal consideration and fairness, and even for reciprocal gen erosity?" Attorney Is Threatened. When 31. O. Collins, a son-in-law of Mrs. Hawthorne, was on the witness stand yesterday- morning, John Man ning, one of the attorneys for Mr. and Mrs. Grover, said to him: "Did you threaten to lick me at one time If I commenced this suit?" In a heated sply Mr. Collins said that he had threatened to. thrash the attorney for the "scandalous allega tions" he had put into the complaint when the suit was filed, but that he had not made the threat to prevent the filing of the suit. The case will be submitted to Judge Cleland some time today for his final decision. DECISION IS CITED McCourt to Meet Defense of C. A. Smith in Land Cases. ALL KNOWLEDGE DENIED Government, However, Will Contend That Minnesota. Millionaire Is Responsible for Acts of His Acting Agents. . . Relying on a recent decision of the Supreme Court of, the United States. District Attorney McCourt will be pre pared today to meet the defense offered In the C. A. Smith cases, wherein "the Government is endeavoring to cancel the patents to 60 timber claims In Linn and Lane Counties. The property Is alleged to have a present ' value of $802,000, and the charge is- made that it was obtained through a conspiracy in which C. A. Smith. Frederick A. Kribs, Steven A. D. Puter and Horace G. Mc Klnley were the moving spirits. It is held by the defense that Puter and McKlnley may have conspired to obtain the lands through fraud and the use of dummies, but that Smith had nothing to do with the case until three months after the filings were made In the land office at Roseburg. It is admitted that he furnished the money to Fred A. Kribs which was used in paying for the lands, but de nied that Smith had knowledge of the fraudulent methods which his money was promoting. Should the court hold that Smith was a party to the conspiracy by- reason of the action of Kribs, his agent, the attorneys for the Minnesota millionaire hope to have the cases thrown out of court because the title Is now in tue Linn-Lane Timber Company, (which was not made a party to the suit until after the statue of limitations expired. The Supreme Court handed down an opinion in March in which It is held that If the president of a company shall have had knowledge of fraudulent methods charged by the Government, or is made a party to such a suit, that knowledge or participation in the liti gation shall be binding on the com-; pany. Puter will be in Portland Monday morning to testify. He will be the last witness used by the Government. PAXTOX'S SEXTEXOE HELD OFF Lake County Farmer Promises Conrt to Remove Fence. J. F". Paxton. a young farmer of Lake County, yesterday pleaded guilty in the united States Court to having unlawfully fenced 1500 acres of the publio domain, and upon recommendation of United States Attorney MoCourt was allowed to escape punishment. Paxton was found to have been one of a large number of settlers whose cattle and horses made use of the grazing in the vicinity of the lakes near Lakeview. By the construction of two miles of pole fence running from the lake edge to the rimrock of the mesa, 'Paxton secured a private lncloaure which was of no value to any other person. . Paxton promised immediately to remove the fence, and sentence was reserved by Judge Bean. ASPHALT IS CREEPING UP Pacific Bridge Oo. Gets Contract. Mayor Concerned Over Advance. Asphalt paving is creeping up In prloe, according to the bids opened by the Ex. ecutive Board yesterday afternoon, and Mayor Simon is correspondingly con cerned. The rate quoted yesterday was $1.79. Four weeks ago it dropped as low as $1.40, due to the active bidding of the Warner-Quinlan Company of New York. "I will have to look Into this proposi tion a little," remarked the Mayor, after the meetins. "I was surprised at that $1.79 rate quoted by the , Barber Asphalt Company." iBitullthic was quoted at $1.85 by the Pacific Bridge Company and . Warren Construction Company, and the former received the contract for paving with bltulithic Sandy Roads from East Six teenth to East Twenty-eighth streets, at that price. Some other streets were awarded upon recommendation of the street committee, which met last Thurs day and made up Its report. Upon motion of R. T. Piatt of the street committee the board granted an exten sion of time until July 1 to the Oregon Independent Paving Company on its Hawthorne-avenue work at Bast Forty first street. He said the streetcar tracks there have been delaying the Job. At the committee meeting it was said the company had not acted in good faith. A Healthful Hint.

CHOICE OPAL AMONG PROCEEDS OF MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Police Sworn to Secrecy, but Woman of Ultra-Exclusive Circles Is Believed to Be Victim. NEW YORK. April 29. Thousands of dollars' worth of stolen diamonds and a rare Hungarian opal are being hunted for high and low by some of the most discreet members of the municipal detective force on orders from headquarters to recover the gems at any cost but to keep the facts about the robbery secret. Where and when the jewels were stolen is not publicly known, but al though the police have succeeded in keeping secret these facts, as well as the name of the owner of the lost Jewels, it is generally understood that the social position of the woman who was robbed Is of the highest In this country and in Europe, and that she was one of those prominent in the quieter and more exclusive circles which formed a part of the Drexel Gould wedding. The rare opal among the missing gems Is centered in a brooch and sur rounded by eight two-carat diamonds valued at $5000. The other Btolen ar ticles include a pair of diamond ear rings valued at $3000, each containing a steel white diamond of one and three quarter karats, surrounded by many smaller diamonds. All the gems are rare old mine stones. Saved From the Grave. "I had about given up hope, after nearly four years of suffering from a severe lung trouble," writes Mrs M. L. Dix, of Clarksvllle. Tenn.
